Answer:

HI.

Explanation:

  • Thomas Graham found that, at a constant  temperature and pressure the rates of effusion  of various gases are inversely proportional to  the square root of their masses.

Rate of effusion ∝ 1/√molar mass.

  • <em>(Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / (√molar mass of O₂).</em>
  • An unknown gas effuses at one half the speed of that of oxygen.

∵ Rate of effusion of unknown gas = 1/2 (Rate of effusion of O₂)

∴ (Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = 2.

Molar mass of O₂ = 32.0 g/mol.

∵ (Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / (√molar mass of O₂).

∴  2.0 = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / √32.0.

( √molar mass of unknown gas) = 2.0 x √32.0

By squaring the both sides:

∴ molar mass of unknown gas = (2.0 x √32.0)² = 128 g/mol.

∴ The molar mass of sulfur dioxide = 80.91 g/mol and the molar mass of HI = 127.911 g/mol.

<em>So, the unknown gas is HI.</em>

what is the specific heat of a substance if 300 j are required to raise the temperature of a 267-g sample by 12 degrees c
slava [35]

Answer : The specific heat of the substance is 0.0936 J/g °C

Explanation :

The amount of heat Q can be calculated using following formula.

Q = m \times C \times \bigtriangleup T

Where Q is the amount of heat required = 300 J

m is the mass of the substance = 267 g

ΔT is the change in temperature = 12°C

C is the specific heat of the substance.

We want to solve for C, so the equation for Q is modified as follows.

C = \frac{Q}{m \times \bigtriangleup T}

Let us plug in the values in above equation.

C = \frac{300J}{267g \times 12 C}

C = \frac{300J}{3204 g C}

C = 0.0936 J/g °C

The specific heat of the substance is 0.0936 J/g°C

What are the correct answers to these questions?
Anni [7]
The answer to both is D. Here's why:
For the first, whenever motion changes in a magnetic field, it causes electrons to move. Electricity, which is needed to power a lightbulb, is just a term for movement of these electrons. Electrons aren't created, they're always there in the wire. It's just that the permanent magnet gets them to move, which produces electricity.
For the second, it is very similar to the first. A magnet won't cause any electric current at rest, it always requires motion in order to produce an electric current. If you keep both of those in mind, it should help in the future. Hope this helps!
